Okay. Enough already. I hate snow. Really. HATE IT. Not as much as brain tumors. Or seizures. Or cancer. But I do hate it. And we have almost a foot of it. I mean it's beautiful and all. Peaceful, quiet. At night the moon glows on the snow and it's like day in my backyard. We had sun in the middle of all this. Six degrees, but sunny. And the snow sparkled like diamond dust.
